Crocodile Dundee II

Australian bushman Mick Dundee and American journalist Sue Charlton are living together in New York City. Although Mick's ignorance of city life is a hazard when he attempts to continue his former lifestyle by, for example, blast fishing in Manhattan's waters, Sue's writing and his easy-going personality have made him popular. Mick decides he needs a job to occupy his time and is offered work by a friend, Leroy Brown, a mild-mannered man trying to live up to the tough guy image evoked by his name. Sue's ex-husband, Bob Tanner, while working for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in Colombia, takes photographs of a drug cartel leader, Luis Rico, personally murdering a man and is spotted by one of the cartel's sentries. He mails the photographs to Sue before he is himself murdered. Rico and his top lieutenant, Miguel, go to New York to retrieve the photos from Sue. They kidnap her, and Rico, learning that the envelope containing the photographs is in Mick’s possession, instructs him to take it to a subway station for an exchange in what is actually an attempt to kidnap him, too, but Mick escapes. After an attempt is then made on his life, Mick turns to Leroy for help to extract Sue from Rico’s Long Island mansion. Leroy’s street reputation enables him to introduce Mick to Rat, the leader of a street gang; Rat agrees to create a distraction outside the mansion, which allows Mick to get in and rescue Sue. Rico goes into hiding to avoid arrest, and after his henchmen fail in a subsequent attempt to kill Sue, Mick decides to take Sue to Australia to protect her on familiar ground. In Walkabout Creek, Mick is enthusiastically welcomed back by his friends. He and Sue take refuge in “Belonga Mick”, or Mick’s Place, a large plot of land he legally owns. Rico and his men eventually track Mick and Sue to Australia, where they hire some locals to assist them, but their Aboriginal tracker promptly abandons the group upon learning that their quarry is Mick. Rico’s men then take Mick's friend Walter hostage; Rico threatens to kill Walter, but Mick saves him by faking an attempt to shoot him. Rico believes that Mick tried to kill Walter because he is the best person to guide them, so he keeps him alive to serve as a replacement tracker. Walter, guided surreptitiously by Mick, then leads Rico and his men on a false trail through the Outback, as Mick, with Sue’s help and that of Aboriginal friends he summons with a bullroarer, reduces the opposition's numbers one by one by capturing them and holding them prisoner in a cave. Mick frees Walter by faking his being killed by a crocodile; this leaves Rico and Miguel to face Mick alone. When Walter tells Sue what Mick is planning to do, she leaves the cave to join Mick, and Walter goes with her. Rico sets a bushfire in a ploy to corner Mick, but Mick captures Rico and switches clothes with him to lure Miguel into a vulnerable position, not expecting Sue and Walter to show up. Seeing the pair from a distance, Walter shoots Mick thinking he is Rico, Miguel shoots Rico thinking he is Mick, and Sue then shoots and kills Miguel; Rico falls down an escarpment to his death, but Sue and Walter initially believe the body is Mick’s until one of the Aboriginals tells them about the clothing switch. Mick, whom Walter's shot has only wounded, walks up, and he and Sue embrace. He asks her if she is ready to go home, meaning to New York City, to which she replies, "I am home."
